Beskrivning

Do politicians listen to the public? When? How often? Or are the views of the public manipulated or used strategically by elites? In this book, leading scholars of American politics assess and debate the impact of public opinion on policy making. Central questions include the changing relationship between opinion and policy over time, how key actors use public opinion to formulate domestic and foriegn policy, and how new measurment techniques might improve our understanding of the results of polls and survey research.
